I'm a HUGE fan of Imperial Russian ballet--even when I was a kid I'd research all the photos I could find of the original Vsevelosky (sp?) and Petipa productions of SLeeping Beauty etc...

You can't believe how thrilled I was when I heard they had reconstructed the original version--sadly it's never toured naywhere by me. Has there been any plans to film it--or are they purposefully keeping it more special/unfilmed?

Are there any sites or books with good photos on it?

And finally I found thru wikipedia a site of videos of the III act--unfortunately not very good quality but they'll have to do. Obviously pro filmed it says they were for a NEw Year's Benefit? any more info on this?

Hi EricMontreal22! Yes there are many pictures from the original production and opening night, as well as the current production. The book is a must have, and a complete history of the ballet in Russia,
from Imperial times through the Soviet era, to the revival in April 1999.
